Attorneys: Interstate collapse suspect used as "scapegoat"

[woodstock]

Yeah not buying the pvc burned, much less hot enough to melt cement. PVC is self extinguishing, and those wooden spools don't contain enough material to make a good campfire.

Certainly something else going on.

It wasn't PVC - it was HDPE which is highly flammable. And it was empty conduit, no FO, so the tubes did a great job of delivering air to the fire itself.

Just proves how bad crack really is . It effects everyone

It didn't melt anything, it burned hot enough to weaken the joints where the sections are joined together. Then the weight made it collapse.

Negatory.......most bridge joints are not joined together anyway. They either have an expansion joint or a construction joint above nearly every column so they can move and flex a little with the weight of hundreds of cars and trucked crossing them.
When concrete is subjected to a roaring blaze like this the air in the concrete expands and explodes ,exposing the steel and pre stressed cables in these precast beams.
If you saw it on tv,there was concrete rubble on the Buford connector where the firefighters were BEFORE the bridge collapsed ,that was from the concrete being heated and popping

You are correct. Anybody can go on google earth and go to street level on the Buford connector and see how much roll pipe was under there. There was a lot.

The Trump campaign and Steve Bannon did it.

I could ex plane this to you, but it would be way over your heads so I am not going to waste my time.

No explanation needed, the man in your avatar did it.
